System Requirements

The following system specifications ensure that Studio runs smoothly:

  • Mac – macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and above.
  • Processor – Processor with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz or better.
  • RAM – 4 GB of system memory.
  • Hard Disk – At least 10 GB of available hard disk space after installation.
  • Graphics Card – A computer less than 5 years old with a dedicated video card or a laptop less than 3 years old with an integrated video card.
  • Internet Access – At least 4-8 Mb/s to keep Studio up-to-date and save projects to your Roblox account.
¹ When installing WebView2 for Windows 10 or earlier, try the Evergreen Standalone Installer if the Evergreen Bootstrapper installation fails.

Customization

Updating Studio

In contrast to certain other engines, every experience runs on the latest version of the Roblox engine. You should keep Studio up-to-date to utilize the latest APIs and features.

If your current version of Studio is outdated, you'll see an Update Available button in the upper-right corner. Clicking the button will prompt you to save/close the currently open place so that Studio can automatically update and restart.
